Your Partner for the Philippines

GPCCI assists and supports companies with their market-entry and expansion plans in the Philippines. We have our office in Manila and a strong network throughout the Philippines. Contact our consultants, to see how we can help you and develop a custom-tailored solution for you.

First Point Of Contact

With our third mandate as a German Chamber Abroad, which is the representation of German business interest in the country, GPCCI acts as the first point of contact for German companies seeking to do business in the Philippines. GPCCI provides a range of services and support with its network. In addition to supporting German companies, the chamber also works to promote bilateral trade relations between Germany and the Philippines. We therefore also assist Philippine companies seeking to do business with Germany. We have experienced an uptake of interest and inquiries last year showing the Philippines is back on the radar!

Partner For Market Entry

We offer a range of services that are custom-tailored to the needs of our customer: From market research and market checks to business partner searches – for sales and sourcing – to a dedicated GPCCI business development employee working for you in our Office-in-Office concept, to scoping missions and location ratings. Our multicultural and dynamic team has seasoned experience navigating your business endeavor to success.

Partner For Trade Promotion

GPCCI spearheads topics like environmental technology, energy transition, green hydrogen, waste management and recycling in the Philippines. We organize events to showcase German technology, innovation, and expertise, and work closely with local businesses, experts and government to create opportunities for German and Philippine companies. Often these projects are financed by the German government to support bilateral trade.

In 2022, we organized a number of publicly financed projects: 2 business missions, wrote 2 market studies and held several information events to foster exchange and open opportunities for cooperation.
